A comprehensive study of plant density consequences on nitrogen uptake dynamics of maize plants from vegetative to reproductive stages (2011, background): “At the same phenological stage, Plénet and Lemaire (2000) reported whole-plant N concentrations varied from 1.37% to 1.56% at a plant density of 90,000 pl ha−1.”
Soil amendment with biochar increases maize yields in a semi-arid region by improving soil quality and root growth (2016, background): “These results indicated that roots comprised a small portion of the total root dry weight but constituted the majority of the total root length (Peng et al. 2010).”
A dynamic root system growth model based on L-Systems (2010, result): “The presented results lie well in this range and do for example quantitatively correspond to the nitrate inefficient maize breed Wu312 described in Peng et al. (2010).”
Mechanisms of Nitrogen Use in Maize (2019, background): “Aboveground biomass production also influences maize N uptake potential [36].”
